1st round draw on BBC 2 @7pm on Monday
The fourth qualifying round for non-league teams is on Saturday.
The lowest ranked team currently left in the competition is Bury AFC, who are the phoenix club from the old Bury FC. They currently play in the North West Counties League (9th Tier).
In addition to the four qualifying rounds, they had to play two additional preliminary rounds so with some replays, this will be their 10th Tie.
Their match on Saturday is a Home Tie against York City who are currently mid table in the National League.
-
There are actually three 9th tier sides left in the competition, with Anstey Nomads and Ashington also there.

Shame we couldn’t get a tie against the noisy neighbours (Doncaster Coty)
-
I’ve more chance of winning the lottery on successive Saturdays than Doncaster Rovers playing Doncaster City in a FA Cup match
-
St Ives away anyone?
-
Away at Chippenham Town please, for old times sake for my time Exiled in Wiltshire.
-
Why isn’t the FA cup 1st and 2nd round regionalised as it was in years gone by.
I really think asking Ashington to play Weymouth which is possible is quite ridiculous.
Is that St Ives in Cornwall then not Cambridgeshire?

Why isn’t the FA cup 1st and 2nd round regionalised as it was in years gone by...
They stopped regionalising the draw for the first two rounds proper of the competition in 1998.
The reason was that there is a greater number of Football League teams in the northern half, and a greater number of non-league teams in the southern half. If you look at that list of 4th Qualifying Round ties above, there are 14 'northern' ties (ending at the FC Halifax Town game) and 18 'southern' ones. So northern teams in Leagues One and Two were more likely to get a 'harder' tie. Deregionalising the draw in effect makes it fairer.
...I really think asking Ashington to play Weymouth which is possible is quite ridiculous.
Don't forget that in the FA Cup, gate receipts are split, so teams can potentially do better financially out of away ties (even lengthy ones) than home ones.
-
St Ives away anyone?
this is the Cambrigeshire variety hope you are not too cheesed off.
and I think the first round draw is regional like the earlier rounds - when there was a lot of playing your next door neighbours.
update
that'll teach me not to read othere peoples posts now I'm cheesed off :crying:
and the match against Mansfield looked a regional thing
-

i actually think they will do ok, blackpool fans said the same about fleetwood and afc fylde who were 1 game away from league 2
-
York City away or better yet Scunny at Home
-
I think our good record against non league teams would be at risk this season.
-
I think we will get Banbury United away, providing they beat Bracknell Town.

Look at Viva’s list of non league teams & think which away draw against one of them would be tantalising enough to warrant a live TV game.
This is the competition where we could potentially earn ‘proper money’.
It all comes down to TV coverage, be it us away to Blyth Spartans in the first round (tantalising enough for TV?), or us progressing to the third round & a home tie against a Premiership club.
That’s the reality. TV monies.
Having said that, an away draw in the 3rd round against Man Utd/City, Arsenal or Newcastle (I’m thinking about revenue from gate figures here), would do nicely.
-
It would be nice to get drawn against York, not sure we would win though.
-
Wouldn't bank on it when we played at arsenal a few years ago it was recorded as there lowest attendance ever at the Emirates
-
Scunthorpe away might do it?
-

I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe ‘non attending’ season ticket holders monies are included too.

I was working in London and went to a European game against FC ostersunds when there was far fewer people in the ground but the attendance was reported far higher.
Talking to a gooner at the game who told me that people bought tickets with no intention of going so they would get priority for tickets in later rounds.

I'd love Halifax away, just to see how that stadium's been transformed from the sh*thole it always was years ago.
I've seen it on TV, and it looks totally different nowadays.

-
I think it hinged on Season Ticket holders at Arsenal and there was a low Gate v Shrews but they had more ST holders to add on
When they played us I am sure they had less StHs due to them having persistent under achieving so when they added them on it came to slightly less
Could be wrong but always stuck in my craw as "unfair" and even if they played Rochdale we would still be record low as AFC will have loads more STHs

Season tickets don't apply to cup games.
Some do. Man U for example insist (or insisted) that buyers of STs had to buy all FLC and FA Cup Tickets if they came up during a Season
I'm no expert but quite possibly other clubs probably follow suit or indeed might have started the "trend" of doing it

What number are we?

Update: 17
-
Kings Lynn at the Eco-Power.

There’s a banana skin.
Again.

Thats us not making round 2
-
Big opportunity to make some dough here.
Away win all day long.
In front of the cameras no doubt. Which pretty much seals it

Well at least it ain’t Oldham

Easy win

no chance will it be on live tv especially being at home,too many non league sides drawn at home
-
I don't for one moment believe we will be selected for live or even extended coverage. Away maybe, but not at home.
-
Top of may league north with one defeat this season should make it easier being at home and a draw anyone would take but not be easy the way we have been playing
-
Third round could play a huge part in the new managers January hope we get there
-
Decent draw for us.
Home to non league side, can’t really ask for better than that.
-
You have to wonder if we can beat Kings Lynn on current form, they tend to win.....
-
They will be up for it, their cup final I suppose.
-
Banana skin. They'll be bang up for it.

Hopefully are new manager will have us bang up for it too!!

That’s potentially a tough one. This is the third year running they’ve got through to the first round and not long out of the National League/Conference.
I’m fairly certain we’ve never played a competitive match against them. Can’t think of any player or other connections save for Jason Minett who ended up there after he fell out with Fatty Evans at Boston.
-
One King's Lynn connection goes back to the early 1950's when ex-Rover Paul Todd became their player manager

Think you’re right about that. Ended up in a coaching role there.
Also…Alex Kiwomya ended up there for a short period.
-
Kings Lynn probably fancy their chances at the moment :( , but hopefull there will be improvemen before then.
-
Just been running down the list of players that have been at both clubs, they include.
Paul Todd
Simon Weaver
Brian Taylor
Zeke Rowe
Ben Muirhead
Jason Minety
Paul Crichton
Perry Suckling
Graham Rickets
Another link is Harrison Biggins dad Wayne who was there too. I could have sworn someone who played for us fairly recently had a spell there too, but I can't think who it was.

Alex Kimomya i seem to remember

Only East Stand open, thats me not going to this one then
“ The East Stand only will be in operation for all sales except wheelchair disabled which can be purchased in the west stand. Season ticket holders seats will not be held, but will be given priority booking.”
-
I really don’t got this, surely there will be more interest than that
-
Does this have an effect on the players may not go myself now
-
To cut down costs on turnstile attendants, marshalling & catering staff (I use the word catering in its widest terms)?
Are we so strapped for cash?
How will the ‘prawn sandwich brigade’ react to the junior members of the Black Bank swearing, standing, falling (“I’ve had two cans of Thatchers me!”) & spewing up over their Burberry & River Island gear?
-
I think there will be more interest in this game than the Rovers think, it is not after all a Papa Johns game, which for me makes this is a poor decision by the Rovers. Hopefully, they see sense and change their minds and I can move back to the west stand, the kids can stand in the South stand and everyone will be, relatively speaking, happy.

I know but it’s the FA cup not Papa Johns
So if the East Stand is sold out what happens then do we just say that’s it it’s sold out or do we then open another stand, seriously think it needs a rethink
-
So, they’ve made a potentially ‘low attendance game’ an even lower one?

The lack of a screen shot with a decent crowd back drop is the main problem, just move the camera platform to the East side, normally there is plenty of room.
It totally ignores the fact that the club, when the ground opened charged a premium to some season ticket holders to reserve their seat during the original sale of season tickets for the stadium, only to conveniently ignore that fact when it suits them, although the person or persons who now make decisions will probably a young upstart johnny come lately who will not be here ten minutes either.
The sad fact is they don't seem to realise the core supporters want looking after, especially at a time when the product has been so poor, they just seem too busy pontificating around, so far up their own backside they don't realise the harm they are doing long term to their money streams.
Facts 1) older people do not want to sit among younger louder supporters. Nothing against them, more power to them, been there done that when younger, but now not up to it I am afraid.
2) Walking extra distances among crowds away from the usual car parks in areas that there was trouble in just a few weeks ago after the game is unsettling
3) Not a certainty but the main reason the West is more popular is who wants to be faced for some of the game with a low winter sun directly shining in your face for part of the game.
4) People may not be able to sit with the company they normally watch the game with.
5) If the powers that be see the Rovers as a business and not a club, you don't treat regular customers like this as the owners of a club or a business without some repercussions, notably some not bothering to attend.
6) It is to be hoped the latter does not become a habit.
7) we hardly ever win when I am forced to sit over there in cup games
-
What is the crack with the £50 junior tickets on the online ticket page?
-
I think we probably all know the reason this decision was taken but I think it’s pretty poor to just have a sentence at the end of the article without any explanation as to why. As you can see in this thread, fans won’t be happy about it so I’m sure an explanation will be coming or better yet (hopefully) a reversal of the decision.

when Starmer got the "gig" SM mentioned inviting him to one of the home matches
Some of us would say ..... hopefully in the "go away end".
Hows about inviting Charles to the FA Cup Game against Kings Lynn - it is after all his local team -being only 9 miles away from The Sandringham Estate .
If his son can support Aston Villa then ......

Was going to order my ticket today until I noticed it was East Stand Only

The East stand is fine by the way, though I would say that it's where my ST is. Good view and the sun doesn't bother at all that often. If only the football was a bit better.

it's been a while red jay - when's the wedding or do we have a pregnant pause ffs get alife

I got my tickets today and chose to be around halfway line or so.
It might make a change from the South Stand for one game.
I think things might have to change though if we get a couple of decent results against
Stevenage and Gillingham.
-
I’m with you on this think they have got this wrong and think they will end up opening the south stand depending on next couple of results

Need to open up more than the East, surely? I can see Kings Lynn bringing 400/500!
Top of their league, day out, lovely new ground for em to get to.

Did I mention that on here? I suppose I must have.
What I did say was that I'd met Sir Keir Starmer at a PFA dinner (we sat next to each other) and we chatted about football, obviously! He supports Arsenal, so I invited him to join me at the Keepmoat when he was in the area.
-
Can you please convey to the board on behalf of a lot of supporters SM, their disappointment that the club has decided to ‘announce’ their decision to only open the East Stand for this fixture.
As has already been pointed out, it’s a ‘smack in the face’ to ST holders of years standing (well sitting, but you catch my drift).
Whose club is this?!!

I don't mind CC No3 but we have been down this path once before. I persuaded the club to keep all stands open for a similar fixture some years ago, the amount of money the club lost on that evening was staggering.
I'll mention it, but I can't' 'hand on heart', push for this very strongly.

Shame we couldn’t get a tie against the noisy neighbours (Doncaster Coty)

Frickley were quite decent at that time.

Yep,but I think it was Gary Hatto,Hooley was the 80's,and they fully deserved to win,that made it an even more bitter pill to swallow,they played better than us that day.

Gary Hatto played, but didn't score. The team in the 80s was way before Hooley, and was the best Frickley team ever, with Wilcox, Noteman, Shirtliffe, and Wilson.
I can definitely remember Hooley scoring those 2 goals against Rovers.

Need to open up more than the East, surely? I can see Kings Lynn bringing 400/500!
Top of their league, day out, lovely new ground for em to get to.

Yep, it will be their cup final.
Well, unless they win then they will get another one. :chair:

Quick update for you.
Chatted with the club & they accept this could have been communicated better.
IF, the East stand becomes full then the other stands WILL, be opened & STH will be allocated their normal seats ( assuming they’ve been moved from their normal position).
As it stands ( no pun intended), the club estimate we will have around 3000 home fans based on previous data/sales etc.
Kings Lynn have asked for 600 seats in the normal away section.
The club would love to be proved wrong & that we have to open all four stands, as this will bring in greater revenue.
The club have also promised to make a decision as EARLY as possible to allow movement, IF numbers attending dictate this.
I also wish, I could sit in my normal seat in the West stand with my son & grandson, but at this stage thats not the case. The cost for stewards, turnstile personnel etc is truly staggering.
I hope this helps & I’ll happily assist where I can.
Regards
Derek.

I take it we will be able to switch to our normal season ticket seats even if we have already purchased one in the East stand.

ST holders seats are still reserved, and not available for general sale.

Well done for ‘knocking on that door’ again!

Shame we couldn’t get a tie against the noisy neighbours (Doncaster Coty)
Careful what you wish for,I remember being excited to play Frickley Athletic in the FA Trophy,fully expecting a win,only for the match to be my lowest point in following Rovers ever since,And having it highlighted on Clarkson show. :blush: :lol:
0-2. Both goals scored by Gary Hooley, I believe.
Frickley were quite decent at that time.
Yep,but I think it was Gary Hatto,Hooley was the 80's,and they fully deserved to win,that made it an even more bitter pill to swallow,they played better than us that day.
Gary Hatto played, but didn't score. The team in the 80s was way before Hooley, and was the best Frickley team ever, with Wilcox, Noteman, Shirtliffe, and Wilson.
I can definitely remember Hooley scoring those 2 goals against Rovers.
But it was in 1998 Steve,not 80s,thats why I did'nt think it was Hooley,just done a bit of research and it was Simon Fuller who scored both goals,knew same player scored both,did'nt know which,Also,I did'nt realise the Ref that day was Howard Webb!

You're right, Drover. I'd got the image of Hooley in my head somehow. I'm sure him and Fuller were both blonde. Or maybe I've got that wrong as well.
One thing we can both be sure of; Gary Hatto was definitely left back that day.

Yes Steve,the disappointing thing is,dispite us having a player sent off,they fully deserved to win,same as King's Lynn fully deserved to win yesterday.

Actually, Drover, the defeat to Frickley that day wasn't really that much of an upset. We were near the bottom of the Conference at the time, and there was no Conference North and South in those days, so the next league down was the Northern Premier League Premier Division, in which Frickley were round about mid-table.
So in real terms, we were only a handful of places above them in the pyramid.

True,it is still,personally my lowest point following Rovers though,up to now. :(
